Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

"Because, if that person claims to be a part of the King's Guard then they must have at least be a light magician. How is Zoemi supposed to capture them without getting rid of their mana and disabling the teleportation spell?"

Surou said convincingly, thinking that he talks to a pair of reasonable people.

"Violence."

"Violence."

"...wha...?"

The red-haired girl and the black-haired boy answered him almost at the same time with the exact same solution, causing the second prince to instinctively take a step back.

"When inflicted with enough pain, even the noble magicians revert back to their instincts. The teleportation spell is an advanced one, many light magicians can't master it at all. If their guts are about to spill out of their abdomen most choose the most basic spell that saved their skin numerous times before – enchantments. And that refers to most attribute users capable of using the physical enchantments, not just light magicians."

"..."

Zoemi faced the second prince and explained with a polite smile – which only made him seem more intimidating.

"Haaah? That sound's as if you are accepting the challenge."

Kieruls glare hardened and she protectively stepped in front of the blue-haired prince and scoffed at her attendant.

"Because I am accepting it. My. Lady."

Zoemi straightened his back and grinned maliciously while tilting his head, looking down on the unaffected red-haired girl.

The master and servant were having the most unusual confrontation considering the nature of their relationship.

As the two were butting heads while the troubled second prince tried to calm them down the foretold armored man with his helmet's vizor closed led by an elderly brown-haired teacher emerged from the building and stepped onto the path leading towards the romantic spot...

"He doesn't look too pressed for time, but his heartbeat got faster as he spotted our prince."

Zoemi stepped away from his master and reported, turning towards the incoming people.

"His body temperature is quite high, he must be getting quite stressed out."

Kierul nodded in confirmation as her eyes glistened like rubies.

"Prince, don't worry. Even when my overconfident attendant fails, I will definitely protect you."

"HEY!"

The red-haired girl breathed out and assured Surou and her face turned slightly pink – while the black-haired attendant gasped, deeply offended about the lack of faith from his master.

"There you are, student Bellcephora!"

The approaching teacher called out to the second prince, relieved that she found him.

"...hmmm? What is going on here student Helterose? Why do you have your enchantments active?"

The brown-haired teacher furrowed her brows and scolded Kierul.

"I'm merely practicing the efficient use of it. I've heard that our kingdom's soldiers are capable of using their enchantments even after losing consciousness so I am trying to figure out how they do it and replicate it, teacher Auequas."

The red-haired girl didn't even bat an eye when she lied straight to the brown-haired woman's face.

"Oh~? That's indeed true, they do teach that to the magic soldiers in the army... I didn't know that you are interested in..."

"Ekhem!"

The answer that Kierul came up with caused the elderly woman's approach to change completely but she got interrupted by the armored man's fake cough.

"Right, right. Excuse me for getting distracted. Proceed with your duties."

The elderly teacher stopped herself and nodded before stepping to the side as if conceding the spotlight to the impatient man.

"Prince, I am from the King's Guard and have been ordered by his majesty King Rozulius Rezulius Bellcephora to bring you back into the royal castle because of an urgent business."

"..."

The armored man skipped the greeting and went straight to business which caused even the brown-haired teacher's expression to grow cold...

"...who do you think you are, speaking to the kingdom of Bellcephora's prince like that...?"

Kierul went a step further than the elderly teacher and asked in a threateningly quiet voice straight up glaring at the armored man.

"Right back at you, Miss. Who are you to speak like that to me? Don't you know that the members of the King's Guard don't need to bow their heads in front of anyone except the current monarch?"

"...!"

The supposed member of the King's Guard scoffed proudly in the face of the red-haired girl – but by responding in such a way he messed up royally, causing the elderly woman by his side to tense up in realization.

"..."

Teacher Auequas glanced toward the two students and the scarred attendant before activating her enchantments in silence – causing Kierul to smirk cheekily.

"Is that so? Pardon this little girl's lack of basic knowledge, kind sir~"

The red-haired girl lowered her head and snickered so that the armored man could not see her expression.

"That's right~! Now then. Prince, come with me. I shall teleport you straight to the royal castle."

The armored man swole up with confidence, magnanimously giving a short nod of approval too satisfied with what he in his hubris mistook for respect.

"..."

"..."

By this point it was over for him, Zoemi sought eye contact with the brown-haired teacher and when the elderly woman noticed his gaze he glanced towards the armored man and blinked - to which she nodded.

"Of course."

The second prince agreed to the armored man's request but didn't move even an inch.

"Good, then come take my ha..."

"But first please show me your face."

The armored man let out a satisfied scoff while beckoning the blue-haired boy – but Surou interrupted him with an innocent smile.

"I... a what...?"

The armored man froze up and asked in disbelief.

"Your face. You didn't introduce yourself but the least you could do is show me your face. After all, I do know all of the current members of the King's Guard."

"..."

The second prince repeated himself and then added with a smile while the armored man stood there in silence while clenching his fists.

"Although we can skip on that, can't we? After all, you are not from the King's Guard."

Surou continued with a light shrug.

"Oh, and for your information – the members of the King's Guard don't need to kneel in front of anyone other than the current monarch. Only that. The proper greeting is still necessary."

"COME HERE YOU BRAT!"

Within the next heartbeat after the second prince's remark, the armored man lost it and roared while charging straight at the blue-haired boy!
